Hello,
I have imported multiple tabs from a file using 'import from folder'. Each tab was loaded in as a table, and then I expanded them to combine into one data set. How can I create row numbers so that each tab starts at 1?
1. Dataset loaded in from file using import from folder.
2. I pressed the expand button on top of custom to get each tab of the data set
3.
I have a table with every row from each of the tables.
How can I get an index for each table? For each table it starts over at 1?
ex
tabA 1
tabA 2
tabA 3

Before you expand those "Table"s you can add a custom column with Table.AddIndexColumn([Custom.Data], "Index", 1,1), remove the original column and then expand the new one.
